Open-air Mobile Toilet

An open-air mobile toilet, also known as a mobile toilet, is a facility that can be moved as a whole and provides toilet services to the public, suitable for various open-air locations.

Suitable Locations

Open-air mobile toilets are suitable for open-air environments such as stations, docks, tourist attractions, villa areas, newly built residential communities, large construction sites, squares, densely populated public places, and bustling commercial streets. These places usually have a high volume of foot traffic and a high demand for sanitation facilities. The flexibility and convenience of mobile toilets enable them to be quickly deployed and meet the needs.

Composition and Structure

Generally, they consist of a fecal sewage storage tank (or fecal sewage treatment device), floor slab, sanitary ware, walls, washing equipment, water tank, roof, and mobile device. The fecal sewage storage tank is used to collect and treat excreta to ensure environmental hygiene; the floor slab provides a stable standing and moving space; sanitary ware such as toilets or squat pans are the core functional components; the walls serve to separate and protect privacy; the washing equipment facilitates user cleaning; the water tank supplies water for flushing; the roof provides shelter from wind and rain; and the mobile device allows the toilet to be moved as a whole to adapt to different locations.

Materials and Classification

In terms of materials, they were initially made of wood, but this had problems such as a simple structure and easy absorption of odors. Later, they gradually evolved to use materials such as fiberglass-reinforced plastic and polyethylene, improving durability and hygiene. According to the structural form, they can be divided into single-structure mobile toilets and composite-structure mobile toilets; according to the moving method, they can be divided into hoisting and handling mobile toilets, powered and towed mobile toilets; according to the sewage treatment method, they can be divided into water-flushing and non-water-flushing suction mobile toilets, circulating water-flushing mobile toilets, and dry-packing mobile toilets.
